Rachel's team called Christopher Steele..

They were told that Steele was ready to testify in front of Senate Intel Committee as soon as they could get a date? But Senator Burr (R-NC) said in yesterday's presser that were unable to get Steele in front of the Committee and they needed to know who paid him and why?

And Senator Grassley has been saying that the "Steele dossier" is the Trump "scandal". From appearances, it looks like some Republicans are getting a little nervous about the Steele dossier?

He had that shit look in his eye yesterday about this. The last thing he wants is for him to testify, he assumed that nobody would do what Rachel did.

He is choosing to allow this to happen in the short term knowing that the facts will bear out the accusations and politics will not be able to prevent it.

the FBI and CIA since June 2016. It is possible he may have been delaying talking with Burr at their request. Maybe there is information so sensitive and damaging it cannot yet be shared without Mueller’s OK as they fear there could be a line of communication between the GOP, the Whitehuse and the Kremlin. That said, Burr still has to be recognized as a liar.
